The early bird catches...the I don't know what but these are DELICIOUS!
They remind me that yesterday a co-worker's wife showed up from her job at a terrific pastry shop laden with goodies...
AND I devoured them 1-2-3 without even thinking...
Lemon curd square with blackberries and an apricot tart thing with pistachios...
They were every bit as good as in Paris...sigh
Thanks for reminding me :)

Well, they were supposed to be an exercise in ellipses, Carol, and I failed miserably. WHY do I have such a problem with something that looks so simple to me?? I'll keep trying. And don't tell me to buy those little green plastic ellipse things--they don't help me at all. ;)

ps
Another reason I should draw from life--I'm using "flat" images and trying to replicate them. I'll keep at it.

Oh these are wonderful. I too have problems with the same thing. It DOES look so easy too.
Thanks for comments on my painting. What you said about having to do over in watercolors is exactly why I like oils. I keep changing my mind to much. lol
